NetApp Exam NS0-593 Topic 1 Question 65 Discussion

Actual exam question for NetApp's NS0-593 exam
Question #: 65
Topic #: 1
[All NS0-593 Questions]

After a motherboard replacement on a NetApp AFF A300 in a SAN environment, the customer states that ports 0e and 0f are unable to connect to the fabric. The ports report "offline".

What would you examine first to troubleshoot the issue?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Here is my reasoning:

Thesystem node hardware unified-connect showcommand displays the status and configuration of the Unified Connect ports on a node1. This command can help you identify if the ports are configured correctly and if they have any errors or faults.

The ports 0e and 0f on the AFF A300 are 10GbE ports that support both Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocols2.These ports are part of the Unified Connect feature, which enables you to use the same physical port for different protocols without requiring additional hardware3.

If the ports are offline, it could indicate a problem with the port configuration, the cable connection, the switch configuration, or the protocol settings.Thesystem node hardware unified-connect showcommand can help you troubleshoot these issues by showing you the port mode, speed, duplex, state, and error count1.

The other commands in the options are not as helpful for troubleshooting the port issue, because they show different information that is not related to the Unified Connect feature or the port status. For example:

Thevserver fcp wwpn-alias showcommand displays the World Wide Port Name (WWPN) aliases for the Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) logical interfaces (LIFs) on a Vserver4. This command can help you manage the FCP LIFs, but it does not show the status of the physical ports or the Unified Connect feature.

Thestorage port showcommand displays the status and configuration of the storage ports on a node5. This command can help you manage the storage ports, but it does not show the status of the Unified Connect ports or the FCoE protocol.

Thevserver fcp interface showcommand displays the status and configuration of the FCP LIFs on a Vserver6. This command can help you manage the FCP LIFs, but it does not show the status of the physical ports or the Unified Connect feature.

Here are some references that might help you:

1:system node hardware unified-connect show - NetApp2:AFF A300 system installation - NetApp3:Unified Connect - NetApp4:vserver fcp wwpn-alias show - NetApp5:storage port show - NetApp6:vserver fcp interface show - NetApp

C all the way! If the ports are offline, the storage port show is where you'll find the root of the problem. Easy peasy.

Ah, a classic NetApp troubleshooting question. I'd start with C, because you can't connect to the fabric if the ports are down.

Option C is the way to go. I bet the storage port show command will give you the information you need to figure this out.

I think we should also look at the vserver fcp interface show command output.

Definitely go with C. If the ports are reporting as offline, you need to check the storage port status first to see what's going on.

I would also consider looking at the storage port show command output to see if there are any issues with the ports themselves.

I agree with Almeta. Checking the vserver fcp wwpn-alias show command output could help identify the issue with ports 0e and 0f.

I think the correct answer would be C) storage port show command output. That's the first thing I'd check to see the status of the ports.
